Why I chose a steel tea cup

Tweet

China tea cups are in vogue and you might see them even the poorest of homes. They can be bought from crockery shops and from the fairs that stay in a place for a few days on occasions like Christmas and Diwali or any other festivals. They come for about Rs 20 to 25 a piece. The bigger ones can cost about Rs 50. I need a medium sized cup for my more tea. I always looked for a cup of my preference. I bought whenever I found one to my taste. But, as the saying goes, breakable articles would break some time or other. All my favourite china cups dropped on the concrete floor some time and I had drink my tea and coffee in cups " not dear to me" for quite a few months. In my desparation I decided to choose unbreakable cups. The smaller cup in the picture is my tea cup. This one and five of the same kind I bought from a mobile vendor last Christmastide, who had his wares displayed on a tricycle van. Each of these can contain about 160 ml liquid. The bigger one cannot be called a cup. In the local dialect it's called a mug. I use it to drink water. It can hold about 500ml and it's very practical is summer days. Someone once said there's joy in using your favourite cups, plates and other crockeries. Do you agree?
